1.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3x=24\"$ Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of $\"2%2F3\"$ = $\"3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3x%2A3%2F2=24%2A3%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=72%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=36\"$
\n" ); document.write( "2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%28x-5%29%2B7=16\"$ Clear the equation of the parentheses
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-15%2B7=16\"$ substract 7 from and add 15 to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x-15%2B7%2B15-7=16-7%2B15\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=24\"$ Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%2F3=24%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8\"$
